I have heard people comment, " oh, what an easy job he has, all he has to do is preach on Sunday's and visit a few sick people." When people say that I know they are clueless. It is a huge responsibility to be the spiritual leader of a church family. The average person expects too much from most pastors. It is clear from the passage in Acts that the deacons are to be appointed to do the daily tasks, so the pastor can devote his time to the Word and prayer. There is a lack of real deacons at most churches. It is time that godly men step up to the plate to partner in the ministry with the pastor to make sure the daily needs and duties of the church are covered so that the man of God who is called to be the spiritual leader of the church can do what he is called to do. Unfortunately many pastors don't spend time in the word, they spend time in commentaries and they don't spend time praying about situations as much as they do talking about problems.<br />Steven ThomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
